Default LED Lights to light up speaker well...

Have anyone installed small LED lights inside the door panel by the speaker grill so it would light up the speaker well...??

How do some one wire up the small LED lights??

You should just check out Oznium.com They have all your lighting needs at great prices with super cheap shipping. I get all my stuff from them and they have never treated me wrong....

i was thinking about this
trying to copy the new bB's lighting scheme
i was thinking about using Computer Fan Grilles
they sell cold cathode fan grilles
80mm (3.15") for the dash and 120mm(4.7") for the doors

something like this

Lol, I remember a while back seeing a speaker at Best Buy that had a built-in LED. I forgot the brand though.

The brand you're thinking about is Dual. The speakers were crap though. The only thing remotely cool was the LED mounted in the grill, and even then it was only one single blue LED so it wasn't the prettiest thing ever. lol.

lmao, good. I think I've only met one person who likes Dual products and he used to drive a Chrysler LHS. LMFAO!

But yeah, a cold cathode would be your best bet for lighting up the grills on the speakers. You can actually buy just the cathode if I remember correctly.

Yeah this is something which I am thinking of. But looking that your pictures, I believe your lights may be overwhelming bright. The pictures were taken during daylight and it is already so bright, when its darkness, it may be over powering.

I am thinking of 4 small LED lights around the circle........ just and ascent, not too brightly lit.

I've done the CCFL fan grill thing. An LED would be easy to do if you know your way around lighting.

Phoenix Gold Ti12D Elite has 3 Blue LED's in it.

And that is NOT a bad speaker...quite awesome really...

And Dual takes a beating for a long time...even when used to make gravy.

You have to take the door pannels off and the rear pannels off to get at them and it takes a while i used hot glue to mount the lights to the grills that came with my kicker speeakers and i used clear double sided tape for the tweeters.

The best way to mount those is by zip tying them to the speaker grill on the door panel.
